Print from Your AstroPrint Cloud File Manager

Within the File Manager (on AstroPrint Mobile), you have the ability to:

Print a design

Change a design name

Move the design to a project folder (for better organization)

Delete a design

Check out your 3D Printing analytics

and more...

Remotely Monitor Your Printer

You can visually inspect your print bed anytime by taking a quick snapshot.

In addition to visual monitoring, you can also monitor key temperature readings (like print bed, extruder) as well.

Side note: Real time video streaming is NOT yet available on the mobile app. We are working on implementing live video streaming in a future version of AstroPrint Mobile. Meanwhile, enjoy live video streaming via a browser on the cloud!

Get Push Notifications About Printer Status

One of the most useful features is push notifications.

With AstroPrint Mobile, you’ll be able to receive push notifications when your print finishes.

As of today, that’s the only push notification that’s available on AstroPrint Mobile. Based on interest, we will certainly consider adding in push notifications for other printer events. Notify US if there are any new notifications you would like us to add! :-)

View Your Print History and Print Analytics

In the PRINT HISTORY section of the app, you can sort your designs by the most recent, oldest, finished prints, and canceled prints.

Most importantly, you can re-print designs directly from the Print History section with convenience.

The ACTIVITY section under PRINT HISTORY will show you interesting statistics about your print history.

Print from the Thingiverse App

You can you search thousands of 3D Printable designs and start printing immediately from the app.

Normally, one would have to navigate to Thingiverse on a web browser, search for a design, download a design, slice that design, then upload the GCODE to a 3D Printer to start the print.

With AstroPrint mobile, we have condensed that workflow down to just 2 steps.
